BALTIMORE, April 25.-Miss Mary
Garrett offered $4,000 annually,
which is equivilnnt to q million out
right, on conditions that John Hop
kin's university here will remove from
this city to Clifton, the country seat
OF its founder and open scientific
school. When the institution was first
buik there was lively fight among
the trustees over the location.
Miss Garrett's father, the late John
w. Garrett, preferred Clifton, but
could not carry his point. So bitter
was the feeling that when Robert
Garrett was named as trustee in his
fathers place it met with decided OPP
position, and it was not until long
after his name was proposed that he
was accepted. Miss Garrett is in pos
session of an immense fortune and
is unmarried. She has given frequent
evidence OF public spirit. The en-
dowment offered according to report,
is to be in the shape of an annual con-
tribution OF the sum named during
the donors life time, and after her
death the continuance of the income
is to be provided by endowment.

New York, Av-il 25.-The Sun
says: Leo Hartmann, the nihilist,
has been identified as soap peddler
He has been making a living in that
wayifor months, but under an assumed
name, and quite unknown to the
police, but he was tempted to make a
speech in recent meeting, denuncia-
tory of Secretary Of State Bayard, for
arranging a treaty with Russia to ex-
tradite assassins of the czar, and re-
cognition ensued. Since he fled to
this country from Russia after engag.
ing in the plot against the late czar,
he has kept so well out Of sight that
detectives got no clue to his where
abonts for long time, and the chase
was finally abandoned, when it was
learned that he was in the United
States.

The GAZETTE is now the oldest paper IL
the State, and with few exceptions the old.
est in the country, and its usefulness has
been demonstrated and appreciated during
the EIGHTY. SEVEN YEARS Gifts existence In
it's columns has always been found mirror
Of passing events, and the careful chron-
cling of the history what is going on in the
world has ever been its aim. 1t is always
welcomed in the household, while in the
counting room and workshop il has become
invaluable.
The GAZETTE has better facilities for OBJ
tanning news than any paper outside of the
national capital Situated as it is SO close
to the great centre of news, it enjoys daily
the benefit of the Associated Press dis.
patches from every part ofthe world hence
It's patrons can read from its columns in the
evening what has transpired that day in
every portion of our own domain as well as
from every part of the habitable globe.
Consequently it is an every day occurrence
for the GAZETTE to publish kilograms from
the various European capitals twelve and
fifteen hours earlier than the morning pa.
pers.
Another feature that serves to make the
GAZETTE great desideratum with mer
chants is its afternoon market reports from
New York, Baltimore, Chicago and other
centres.
The local department. furnishes full and
complete history of everything that occurs
and near the city, and this feature will,
as ever, receive careful attention.
Correspondence from Washington, Rich.
nond and every section of State, is pub
lshed regularly, and all events of interest
occurring within the bounds of the Com.
nonwealth are TO be found in the columns
If the GAZETTE.
The GAzETTE's circulation is steadily in
'reasing, especially among people who con.
ult its advertising columns before purchas.
ng. That this is aelfeyident may be infer
ed from the fact that large country edi.
ion-nearly as large as the daily--is sent
il over this section of country three tines
week, and is read by thousands, most OF
1hom send here or to contiguous cities to
lake purchases. The advantages of adj
ertising in the GAZETTE are, therefore, ap-
aren't.
